What is Milia?
Milia are small, white, hard bumps that can appear on the skin, often around the eyes, nose, or cheeks. Our Milia Removal Treatment is a gentle and precise procedure designed to extract these stubborn milia, leaving your skin clear and blemish-free.
What are the causes of Milia?
Milia are small, white, or yellowish bumps that appear on the skin, most commonly on the face. They are caused by keratin (a protein found in skin) becoming trapped beneath the surface of the skin. Milia are not harmful but can be persistent and cosmetically bothersome.
Common Causes:
-
Blocked Pores — Dead skin cells or keratin get trapped under the skin’s surface instead of being shed.
-
Skin Trauma — Injuries such as burns, rashes, or excessive sun exposure can lead to secondary milia.
-
Thick or Heavy Skincare Products — Using products that clog pores or are too rich for the skin can contribute to milia.
-
Aging Skin — Reduced skin turnover in older adults can lead to the formation of milia.
-
Genetics — A predisposition to milia may run in families.
